“Members of “Altright” groups took to Twitter calling for the disruption of a mainly liberal trump impeachment march on July 2nd in 12 cities including philadelphia. These groups don’t deserve to be called by names other than fascists so we will leave it at that.
We fully support this call to defend our city. The ranks of those coming to Philly to try and disrupt the liberal Impeachment march will be filled with avowed Neo-Nazis, racist Libertarian Capitalists and Anarcho-Capitalists, and other assorted Far-Right wannabe storm troopers. Philadelphia is an Anti-Fascist city now and forever.
Update 5/2/17: We have received word that Reardon has been evicted from his apartment. As a result, we have removed the address at 44th and Sansom. We have also been informed that someone damaged a car of another resident of Reardon’s building. While we do not know for sure that is related to this we would like to make it clear that no one from Antifa Philadelphia was involved and that sloppy or misdirected actions reflects badly on Anti-Fascists as a whole.
Update 5/1/17: Word has spread fast about Illegal Aryan being exposed. We would like to remind our readers that Reardon lives in an apartment in a building, and there are other tenants there with no ties to him or his Nazi activities. We understand that residents are (understandably) upset about a Nazi living in their midst and spreading propaganda, just please be mindful of that.
We have confirmed that Reardon is no longer employed at the Law Firm he had listed as his Facebook employment. We have removed the contact info and thank both the Firm for being understanding and everyone who called for keeping it civil.
Mark Daniel Reardon, aka “Illegal_Ayran.” Neo-Nazi living in Philadelphia.Reardon attending the private conference portion of the Traditionalist Workers Party’s event in Kentucky last weekend.
The flyers were taken down almost immediately by numerous crews of Anti-Fascists, students and other people from the area. Responsibility was claimed by the twitter account @Illegal_Aryan.
Note the t-shirtNote the goggles and helmetScreengrab of “Illegal_Aryan” Mark Daniel Reardon in Pikeville, KY on April 29th, 2017 demonstrating alongside Traditionalist Worker’s Party and National Socialist Movement.
Due to some good investigative work from a supporter and some supplementary research by our Intel team, we have confirmed that “Illegal Aryan” and Mark Daniel Reardon of West Philadelphia, are one and the same.
Mark Daniel Reardon, aka Illegal_Aryan, Neo-Nazi.
Reardon is a rather recent convert to Nazism.
If one was to look at Reardon’s facebook, they would find no obvious indicators to his Nazi views. He definitely posts some questionable content, such as videos by notorious right wing charlatan James O’Keefe and of distraught Hillary Clinton supporters upon finding out their candidate lost, but nothing that would lead you to believe he would be moonlighting as a Nazi troll and putting up vile racist flyers in West Philadelphia.
According to Illegal Aryan, he is 32 and lives in West Philly between 2 mosques and within a few blocks of the spot where those 2 cops were ambushed last summer.
Illegal Aryan also was nice enough to describe themselves on the Stormfront dating section. Also mentions that they like to bike.
Illegal Aryan also posted on TDS that they went to Temple University ten years ago.
Mark Daniel Reardon is 32 years old.
Mark Daniel Reardon went to Temple University and graduated 10 years ago.
Mark Daniel Reardon is tall, slim, is European, and likes to bike.
Reardon’s most recent address (removed do to being evicted) close to the area where the flyers were put up and where those cops were ambushed.
Getting the picture?
Reardon recently was working as a Desktop support engineer at a law firm , but we have confirmed that he has not worked there for several months.
It also appears that Reardon was trying to go onto Nazi website The Daily Stormer recently while working and apparently using the Wireless network of The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. We are working to confirm or dis-confirm whether he is currently working there; an unsettling possibility if there ever was one.
That service desk number is CHOP’soh and make sure this article gets plastered on these groups
Mark talked a lot of big fucking game about Antifa when he was anonymous. Let’s see how he feels about us now. Nazis are not welcome in Philadelphia, and any attempts by them to organize, recruit or intimidate will be annihilated. If you do attempt any of these things, you have already ruined your life; even if you don’t know it yet.
Solidarity with everyone who stood strong in Pikeville on the 29th despite the threats of violence by the Nazis and law enforcement harassment.
Things have been busy. Our apologies for the irregular updates. Here is a quick roundup of some of what has been going on here in Philly in the past few weeks.
Rumors were confirmed on social media that Cliff Warby, longtime Neo-Nazi and former drummer for Condemned 84 and current drummer of RAC band Para elite, was knocked out and hospitalized by Anti-Fascist punx at the U.K. Subs show at Voltage Lounge on April 7th. Additionally, Warby’s adult daughter Aryan Warby (yea, really) was also knocked out.*
Witnesses do not recall any brass knuckles; just good follow through.recent pic of Warby. note the totenkompf buckle.Warby sig-heiling in 1986
Warby was living in the Philly area recently but appears to be living near the Jersey shore.
On Saturday, April 8th, Antifa Philadelphia tabled alongside the Wooden Shoe Books, Bindlestiff Books, and others at a book and bake sale fundraiser for J20 defendants at the ASpace.
Over $700 was raised for J20 defendants from Philly. Thanks to everyone who came out, tabled, donated items to sell, or otherwise contributed!
A few MAGA types also made a short appearance at the Philly Tax march carrying Trump flags on April 15th before being chased to the waiting arms of their police protection and then making their escape. It is unknown if they were the same ones who were attacked or not.
Trumplodytes trolling at the Philly Tax March
Finally, Due to overwhelming response from regular folks donating between 1 and 50 dollars, Antifa Philadelphia has managed to raise over $3500 so far for the Richard Spencer Puncher Fund.
At the time of this writing, there are only 4 few days left before the “bounty” put on the right-wing crowdfunding site Wesearchr expires. So hopefully the Puncher will not need this money, and it will be divided up among J20 defendants and other Anti-Fascist causes.
Neonazi Richard Spencer took a sucker punch heard around the world, for many people brightening an otherwise terrifying inauguration day. Richard Spencer has twice tweeted that on Saturday he filed a police report and fascist group wesearchr is fundraising a bounty for information on the antifa puncher. Philly Antifa is fundraising for the legal defense (if found and charged) or the health care costs (if attacked) of the puncher. We do not know who the puncher is nor are in touch with them, however we have years of experience raising legal defense for militant antifascists and are committed to distributing the funds to anyone accused if and when they are needed.
Spencer was punched while being recorded by an Australian media outlet and live streamers, and his violent calls for genocide have been given widespread coverage by Politico, the Atlantic, the Washington Post, NBC, and loads of other press, allowing neonazi movements to recruit and grow. These outlets have ignored militant antifascist responses, and given voice to the type of vile ideology that both organizes and heightens racist, homophobic, transphobic, and far-right violence from both fascists in the streets and state actors. The far right murder people for no reason other than their race, faith, gender identity, national status, etc.
We are calling on everyone to share this donation call to who has made a meme or enjoyed this act of militant resistance. We are also calling on anyone profiting directly from the imagery of the punch to set some money aside for this fund.
If charges are not made or no one’s safety is compromised because of their alleged involvement, the funds will go to general legal defense for antifascists.
All donations coming thru PhillyAntifa.org from now on will go to said fund.
Good luck and stay safe.
¡No pasarán!
-Philly Antifa
*In the original post of this article, we identified Aryan Warby as a Nazi. However, after some research it does appear that she at least has represented herself as not being in line with her father’s views. We aren’t about to start moralizing about fights at shows, especially ones we didn’t do. And Aryan Warby is far from the first non-nazi associate of a Nazi to experience that authentic “Being a Nazi in Philadelphia” experience. However, we take mis-characterizing people as Nazis seriously, despite claims otherwise by our enemies. So we have removed the word. But we would also like to remind our readers and Ms. Warby that, no matter how much you may claim to love Obama, walking around with a Nazi in Philly can get you knocked out.
March 25, 2017, Independence Hall, Philadelphia (5th and Market)
On March 25th, a group of Trump-worshiping right-wing scum will be in Philadelphia to hold a “Make America Great” rally and march near independence hall. The rally will be to show support for Donald Trump and his racist, sexist and transphobic policies. They will cheer for the loss of life-saving medical coverage for so many who need it. They will celebrate the continuation and acceleration of policies of mass incarceration, unrestricted police murder/brutality/harassment, and deportations. They will cheer as trans women are murdered almost daily and then have the gall to turn around and claim those women are predators to be kept from children. They will then attempt to march through the streets of Philly, a city that overwhelmingly does not support Trump, as a show of strength.
We say fuck that.
Let’s show them that Philly knows the truth. That America was founded on Colonialism, Genocide, Slavery and Sexism. Those traditions continue today, though sometimes in varied forms. America was never great. But Philly can be great on March 25th. Let our rage send a message to all those who think the election of Trump means that we will lie down and die, and all those unsure how to best stand against Trump and his minions.
#DisruptMAGA welcomes and encourages a diversity of tactics. However, “peace police,” people who collaborate with law enforcement, and people who seek to restrict the actions of other demonstrators are not welcome. Be smart; this is not a civil disobedience where everyone tries to get arrested or injured. Come with a buddy, protect your identity and watch your back.
So let’s make a little noise for ourselves and everyone else who had to suffer to “Make America Great.”

“We recently preformed an attack on the ShoutCast hosting service that was providing the 24/7 radio stream on micetraps website. The stream was constantly playing the record labels racist music. We contacted shoutcaststreaming.us after we knocked them offline for a long time and told them to remove the micetrap radio from their systems. As of today the radio station is now offline.
…
Just wanted to let you know, the fight is on going, and you are not alone in wanting to take micetrap down.
We are anonymous
We are legion
We do not forget
We do not forgive
Expect Us!” [sic]
Looks like Micetrap Radio is down, which is run by Steven Wiegand.
Something was not quite right Saturday afternoon when Philly Antifa arrived at local anarchist bookstore, The Wooden Shoe, to set up for a free community event. Cops had been waiting outside the store as early as 9:00 a.m. But later on, it looked like they were everywhere; blocks deep in either direction, out in large numbers, standing on corners, hanging around in all shapes and sizes of police vehicles, walking up and down the block, circling in packs of bicycle units. Counter terrorism trucks were parked at 7th and Bainbridge and were positioned with more police cars on the same corner.
An attendee left the bookstore and was followed by two police officers into a coffee shop, who monitored their activity and tailed them for blocks. More and more cops showed up, lining the street while filming and photographing everyone who entered or left the shop.
Concerned at the large and hostile police presence, some people who wished to come to the talk, thought it better to leave. The police seemed to be about to do something. In fact, they already had. The day before, two police officers entered the Shoe and asked that they cancel the event. The police made nonsense claims that they feared the presence of antifascists would result in street conflict, and made accusations about Antifa’s involvement with recent protest actions.
We want to reiterate: Philadelphia Police tried to stop this event.
They were trying to shut down a free, open-to-the-public speaking engagement about antifascism with author and political scholar Matthew Lyons. Lyons went on anyway and spoke to a standing room only crowd regarding his most recent work, “Ctrl-Alt-Delete: Antifascist Report on the Alternative Right.” So many people turned up for the talk we ran out of room, and those who could fit inside got to learn about the rising tide of alt-right ideology and fascist activity. We hope that the cops watching and filming us through the windows enjoyed the talk as well; they obviously have an intense interest in fascism.
This behavior should sound the alarm. The state is poised to crack down on communities simply based on political ideology. Radical spaces, groups and associations are being targeted. Philly Antifa and antifascists everywhere are being threatened. We will not accept a world in which it is possible to silence a public talk at a bookstore. We must work together now to resist this blatant repression.
We are hosting a fundraiser this coming Saturday at LAVA to support the PHL Autonomous Anti-Repression Fund. This Fund and show are the exact things we need to bring us together and sustain our spirits and resistance. Coming out to shows and fundraisers is not only really fun, but essential if you value radical spaces and groups fighting on the frontlines. We hope to see old friends and make new ones on Saturday.
As Philly Antifa, we exist to combat fascism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and all forms of oppression. We must reject the repression and intimidation tactics the police are trying to impose on us. We will not stop fighting, we will not be subdued and we will not be silenced.
As almost all of you are no-doubt aware, The GOP congressional delegation is holding their annual retreat here in Philly and Donald Trump will be in attendance tomorrow.
There are several protests planned throughout the day. We would like to encourage our supporters and other Antifascists in the area to join us in participating in these protests as an explicitly Anti-Fascist contingent and show that Philadelphia is an Anti-Racist, Anti-Facist city that intends to disrupt and oppose the Trump regime at every opportunity.
On J20, around 50 of us masked up and took off down South St. We wanted to set a tone of resistance against the Trump regime and the ruling class for the years to come. There were chants of “good night alt right” and antifascist flags and banners. The OCF Coffee house was smashed while people spray painted windows along the street. Bank of America took a paint bomb. As we moved along more windows were tagged and shattered. There was a brief discussion before we turned off South St and started dragging baricades into the road, knowing the cops had to be close by, being earily absent so far. When they did show, the obstacles slowed them down enough for everyone to get away.
This shit is officially still possible in Philly, affinity groups can come together in direct, violent, contempt against the business of gentrification, the moneyed masters funding attacks on indigenous peoples, and white nationalism. For all those arrested on J20 and all those still fighting the Black Snake.
Our regular readers are probably well aware of Steven Wiegand and his company Micetrap Distributions. However, many people living in Wiegand’s town of Cherry Hill are still totally unaware that he has been peddling Neo-Nazi merchandise there for over 20 years.
So it is our intention to change that and create an awareness in Cherry Hill, Philly, and the surrounding areas so Micetrap and Mr. Wiegand will no longer be able to spread their Racist, Sexist, Homophobic propaganda unopposed.
“On 11-25-16 the Steelton Police conducted a traffic stop in the 200 block of South 3rd Street. The driver identified as Timothy Wylie was arrested on outstanding warrants and was found in possession of a semi automatic handgun with the serial number removed. (emphasis added) He was arrested and transported to the Dauphin County Judicial Center for processing and arraignment.”
Wylie is a proud KU/KSS member who was spotted at their Yule Party this year, hanging around the fringes of the Antifa demo in Harrisburg to counter the NSM last month, and a KU anti-refugee rally at the state capitol last year.

Despite KU/KSS claims that their organization has “gone through some changes” and to be concentrating on creating “a more productive outlet for skinheads and white youth alike” (from their “about me” section of their blog) they continue to attract and “patch in” the same scumbags they did back 10+ years ago.
KSS Co-Founder and Harrisburg chapter leader Bob Gausstarted a Fundrazr to try and bail Wylie out for the holidays but fell short. Almost all the donors listed are known KSS members and supporters including Philly members AJ Olsen and Joey Phy as well as Phy’s partner Stacey Sautner and former Philly KSS members Bryan and Patricia Vanagaitis, who moved out of town.
We will continue to monitor the case and expose KU/KSS members.
It has come to Philly Antifa’s attention that a well known alt-right troll has set up a fake facebook page for family and friends of the Ghostship fire victims. Jonny Riches is best known for constantly making frivolous lawsuits against celebrities, attending famous legal trials, and crashing left-wing demonstrations. He is known to doxx anyone who calls out his frauds online and gives out their information to his nazi friends, who relentlessly harass and threaten them; specifically, marginalized people – women, queer folk, and poc. People have been soliciting donations on the page as well, no doubt taking funds away from Ghostship victims.
His wife, Naomi Riches, is no better. She joins him in his attempts to out and harm people. They share a fascination with murderers and celebrate people like James Holms, the Colorado theater shooter.
This is him at a recent Anti-Trump rally in Philadelphia, wearing a Guy Fawkes mask and green wig. He likes to attend demonstrations for the explicit reason of identifying, mocking, or delegitimizing movements. He also attends pro-cop rallies unmasked.
In all reality, this guy has been flying under our radar for too long and using that to exact racist, sexist, oppressive cruelty. This is a group he’s been using to phish people. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1237753412951890/
He lives at
1306 Ashbridge Drive
West Chester, PA
Owned by his parents, but he has claimed residence there. He has made claims he’s going to be moving to Florida in a year.

Update:
Jonny Riches has found an 8 year-old article from an anti-antifa site and has been using that to identify supposed leaders of Philly Antifa. Philly Antifa is an anti-authoritarian organization. There are no leaders, and his intel is far off the mark. Ol’ Jonny-boy has not gotten to anyone in Philly Antifa.
On learning of recent racist activity around the city, Philadelphia Antifa decided it was about time to make some visits.
Keystone United (aka KSS/Keystone State Skinheads/complete fucking garbage) are a pack of backwards racist boneheads that have not just a bullshit nonsense ‘ideology’, but also a string of misery wherever they go. Murderers, rapists, abusers, that’s who Keystone United is. They want new blood, and they’ve been out on Philly’s streets, advertising.
Crews of Philly Antifa responded in kind. We thought we should hit up Joey Phy’s (of 4383 Salmon St.) hood to let his neighbors know they have a Nazi in their midst. Not only should people know when they live next to a toxic dump of a ‘person’, we also want them to know that we are there, and are watching out for them. Joey Phy should not be comfortable spreading his propaganda, or walking the fucking street for that matter.
We also went back up to the northeast, where lots of KSS stickers were removed and destroyed recently. We blanketed that area too, covering up nazi symbols and messages with our own. Our friends at La horde (http://lahorde.samizdat.net/) will be happy to see their anti-fascist imagery put to use in silencing Keystone. Greedy gentrifier advertising was also disposed of; their community shattering tactics and property grabs dismantle deep and powerful neighborhood bonds that are the lifeblood of this city. Where they tried to take space for their messages, we took space back and stomped out their words.
When the Nazis try to crawl out of their holes, Philadelphia Antifa will be there, to bury them.
Post Trump election days have empowered every sort of white supremacist across the states. Northeast Philadelphia, always an active, stinking cesspool of racist skinheads, has seen the reemergence of the Keystone United (previously known as KSS/Keystone State Skinheads). They have been a menace for years. Their legacy has nothing to do with “heritage.” Their “heritage” is about about a trail of murders, violent attacks, and rapes wherever they pop up. Recently, the bigots have been back at it, covering the area with their fascist propaganda, showing up along major corridors, spreading their vile filth in their old recruiting grounds.
Local Philadelphia Anti-Fascists were quick in killing their messaging dead in its tracks. They cannot be allowed back into Philly’s hoods and communities, and racists will be met everywhere they are. They will not recruit. They will not have a place to speak. They will not feel safe. No quarter, no inch, no space to breathe for fascists.
Something was not quite right
